I also like to check reviews on platforms like Yelp, Google, or even Angi (formerly Angie’s List).

I believe this is why policy-makers on both sides of the political aisle are starting to see the promise that renewables offer over traditional forms of energy, which are becoming increasingly expensive for the government to continue propping up and bailing out.  

Quote from @Karen Smith: With more investors turning to private money lenders for faster funding, what benefits have you seen from using private financing versus traditional bank loans? 

So, winters are the traditional slow times for sales & rentals.

It merely means you will likely have a difficult time refinancing the property to a traditional lending source.

Hi Edward, To connect with more advanced investors in Spokane, start by exploring local real estate meetups through platforms like Meetup.com, Facebook groups, or BiggerPockets forums.

You don't have to fit into a traditional "avatar" box to bring valuable insight, so don't sell yourself short. :)This is especially true if you rely on furnishedfinder.com as your primary lead source (which you shouldn't, but that's another post) as when you make that connection with a prospective resident, you are selling yourself as a landlord as much as you are the property as a place to live.

.- Short-Term Rentals in Non-Traditional Markets: Secondary markets like Florence, Alabama, are ideal for short-term rentals.

Instead of a traditional down payment, I would give them some money (maybe just to bring the loan back to even).The upside if taken over the loan at the current balance, with some rehab and hopefully getting the front lot back would be a nice ROI. 

@Barbara Potts - you should check out PassivePockets.com - a new platform we introduced just yesterday!
